Choose the answer which best rewords the underlined portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

  1. Although extreme drought conditions have
  2. Although extreme drought conditions has
  3. Extreme drought conditions have
  4. Extreme drought conditions has
Explanation
Answer: C - The best choice is “Extreme drought conditions have”

“Although” is a subordinating conjunction, meaning it comes at the beginning of a dependent clause (a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence.) Beginning the sentence with “extreme” transforms the dependent clause into an independent clause. The auxiliary verb “have” agrees with the subject “conditions.”
